Email Is A Bad Messenger
I hate email.
It's too insensitive, it doesn't convey enough tone, emotion or nuances.
Email is also slow. That person may or may not read that message in time. He or she may not want to reply immediately, or put it in his KIV folder and forget about it.
You don't get instant feedback. You don't see the persons expression upon reading his email.
It's impersonal, and a joke may be mis-interpreted as an afront, an order as a suggestion, a trivial matter as important and so on.
You don't know what is important or what is not. It's all just text in a sea of messages.
Don't forsake face-to-face communication for email. Even the phone is better than email.
I only check my email about 3 times a day. If someone wants something really urgent from me, just walk over to my cubicle and talk to me, or call me.
Talk to people. It builds rapport far better than email.
Live Life With No Regrets!
